reverse heist movie where a single snake has to chase all the priests back into ireland

Long-running editor of Blue Peter appears with the presenters as they say farewell to her upon her retirement from the programme (27.6.88) Blue Peter Biddy Baxter retirement

RIP Biddy Baxter.

My Biddy Baxter memory: enlisting her Boudica-like power to argue our way into a crematorium where a mutual friend was going to be sent off with no-one in attendance. I took the service and pressed the button. Afterwards the entire congregation went back to her place in one taxi. RIP.

A very dark, very rudimentary Blind Date set.

And the award for "Funniest Lighting in a Sketch Show" goes to KYTV, for their Russian version of Blind Date.

Biddy Baxter, Blue Peter editor for more than 25 years, has died at the age of 92.

Continuing my rolling Radio Times re-read, this is an eye-opening correction

'Northern Lights' by Renaissance is a grand tune. #totp

Still keen for Dire Straits to explain exactly how much installation was required for a microwave oven even in 1985. That really does sound like money for nothing to be honest with you. #totp

Nope, you’re number 31, love: it’s right there on the screen.

The weirdest thing about Amazulu was how they slowly but steadily reduced the lineup. Some of them are in the Too Good To Be Forgotten video but had left by the time of the TV performances. #TOTP

Northern Lights is a superb song and Annie Haslam is one of the greatest vocalists ever! 😍 #TOTP

Interestingly, but not at all unsurprisingly, "This Is Hardcore" was one of Pulp's more successful singles in France. #totp

I went to a funeral once (drummer friend of my dad's) where the playout music was Buddy Rich's version of Beat Goes On, the liveliest funeral playout music I've ever heard. #totp

I once went to a fancy dress party as 80s Madonna and someone asked me if I’d come as Liz McDonald off Corrie #totp x

Can't see Foreigner or Journey without thinking about their inexplicably hilarious joint tribute band #totp

How do you install a microwave oven? Surely you just take it out of the box and plug it in #totp

Jilted John is absolutely solid gold 100% perfection #totp
